I am utterly sickened today. To think we were only a minute and a half from winning the game and for it to be stolen off us!!
However I think we have a lot to answer for ourselves. We seemed a bit on edge in the first half and had two oppourtunities of goal and both went a miss. Also V.Frizzell who is normally excellent from frees did not come into the game until the second half.

In fairness to Geevagh they did well to hold on but I think we bet ourselves more than anything.

Heard from a referee that the refs for the finals were announced that night.

Malachy Maher for the Intermediate and Des Henry for the Senior. What do ye make of it??

As a Bunnie I hope Malachy doesnt take the normal Curry stance and go against us seeing that there is a slight bitterness still there.

Yes Sligoian I know but Harps second team are decent enough. They've been in the semi-finals these last few years however I must admit that I expected a 4-5 point win. However we got a rattle but in fairness the best team one in the end. At half time you would have thought it was game over at 0-6 to 0-1, and we even extended our lead. But the last 12 minutes or so was terrible for us.

However as they say a win is a win. Even if by a point. I also heard that Harps intermediates bet Harps seniors in a challenge and it wouldnt suprise me either.

Coolera bet themselves as far as I can see it. They had enough posession and chances to keep in contention in the first half if not win it out.

However such is football but had Barry O'Mahoney being playing from the start it could have been different. He came on and got 2 points winthin 5 mins.

However I was sick at how Coolera played. The big high ball in to a two man forward line and it never worked. It was like watching a replay every time. As for Harps they can be lucky that Coolera didnt come out to play as their preformance was average. But thats all that was needed to beat them.

In the Intermediate my own Bunnies scrapped through after having a 0-6 to 0-1 lead at half time. Discipline was terrible and again the Harps forwards let themselves down with 9 wides most from scoreable positions. However in fairness the best team did win however it was not a proud preformance.

Harps played the tactic of furstrating our boys and it worked. We had a man sent off which I believe was fair enough but Harps also should have a man put off and another 3 yellow cards at least. Geevagh put in a good preformance against a poor Mullinabreena team and I'd be wary of them in the final.
